Neoplastic transformation of human cells in culture associated with deficient repair of light-induced chromosomal DNA damage

Using a high-resolution chromosome banding technique, which provided more elongated and distinctly banded chromosomes, some new evidence was obtained for localization of break points in Burkitt lymphoma marker chromosomes. As a result, the characteristic translocation between chromosomes 8 and 14 was designated as t(8;14) (_q24.1;_q32.5) and the deletion of chromosome 15 was designated as del(15) (_q13_q15).
